About
Fecal Matter was a punk rock band from Aberdeen, Washington. The group was formed in 1985 by Kurt Cobain, the future frontman of Nirvana, along with Dale Crover of the Melvins and drummer Greg Hokanson. Melvins members Buzz Osborne (also known as "King Buzzo") and Mike Dillard appeared in a later version of the band during rehearsals the following year. The band was short-lived, disbanding in 1986.
Songs from the group's sole recording session were issued as the Illiteracy Will Prevail demo tape. "Spank Thru" was previously released, as well as a re-recording of 'Downer'. The latter was released on the first Nirvana album, Bleach. The rather obscure 1986 punk rock compilation album Get Obnoxious featured the track "Sound of Dentage". Illiteracy Will Prevail is the earliest documentation of Cobain's songwriting in circulation, and helped Cobain establish himself as a composer and performer among his peers in the emerging grunge scene in Washington State.

Fecal Matter est un groupe de punk rock américain, originaire d'Aberdeen, Washington. Le groupe est formé en 1985 par Kurt Cobain, futur membre du groupe de grunge Nirvana, avec Dale Crover des Melvins à la basse et le batteur Greg Hokanson. Hokanson a été retiré du groupe en raison de son penchant pour la bière et son attitude négative qui en a découlé. Buzz Osborne, également des Melvins, et Mike Dillard joueront dans les derniers mois de vie du groupe.
Le groupe publie une seule cassette audio démo intitulée Illiteracy Will Prevail. À l'exception du morceau Spank Thru, les morceaux de cette cassette resteront officiellement non publiés . Un réenregistrement de Downer est inclus dans le premier album de Nirvana, Bleach.
